Emily Weiss started Into The Gloss in 2010 while working as an assistant at Vogue, interviewing women about their beauty routines in a way no one had done before. In 2014, she launched Glossier directly from the blog's audience — effectively building the customer base before the product existed. Glossier raised $266M+, was valued at $1.8B at its peak, and made beauty feel democratic, conversational, and deeply personal. Emily stepped down as CEO in 2022, handing the reins to Kyle Leahy, but remains involved as a board member.
